Description of the problem | This is the second time i have experienced a complete loss of acceleration. I brought my car to local ford dealer about a month ago and they installed a software update and said that should fix the problem but the problem occurred again today. Luckily both times i was in a place where i was able to pull off the road. These are the symptoms: 1. Sudden and complete loss of acceleration while traveling at speed 2. Wrench icon showed up on the dashboard display 3. Coasted to stop and applied brake (car began to shake) 4. Shifted to park and shut car off 4. Restarted car and everything back to normal. The problem is that ford states they cannot replicate it and once the car has been restarted the wrench icon and problem go away. They say that once the wrench icon goes away the computer doesn't store the error code and therefore will not show them the problem. They tell you to drive the car to the dealer while the wrench icon is still on the dashboard but that would be impossible unless it happened right next to the dealer. |
